Project description:We have perturbed RNA methylation machinery and investigated the change in subcellular localization of mRNA in Ascl1-induced neurons (iNeurons). Mutant iNeuron line harbouring tagged endogenous Mettl3 was generated which allowed for the selective and targeted depletion of Mettl3 protein with the addition of dTAG. Cells were treated with dTAG for 40 hours then separated into compartments (neurites and soma) and then sequenced in parallel with samples which received no dTAG treatment.

Project description:We performed m6A-RIPs in Ascl1-induced neurons (iNeurons) to investigate the neuronal m6A epitranscriptome. Immunoprecipitation was done twice using two different antibodies, acquired from Abcam and Synaptic Systems (SySy), allowing for a more robust detection of m6A modification marks. Additionally, RIP-seq was performed separately with intact and fragmented RNA. The former approach allowed to identify proportions of m6A-modified transcripts among the total number, while the latter approach provided the information to identify genomic coordinates of m6A peaks.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation is the most abundant modification on mRNAs and plays important roles in various biological processes. The formation of m6A is catalyzed by a methyltransferase complex including methyltransferase like 3 (METTL3) as a key factor. However, the in vivo functions of METTL3 and m6A modification in mammalian development remain unclear. Here we show that specific inactivation of Mettl3 in mouse nervous system causes severe developmental defects in the brain. Mettl3 conditional knockout mice manifest cerebellar hypoplasia caused by drastically enhanced apoptosis of new born cerebellar granule cells (CGCs) in the external granular layer (EGL). METTL3 depletion induced loss of m6A modification causes extended RNA half-lives and aberrant splicing events, consequently leading to dysregulation of transcriptome-wide gene expression and premature CGC death. Our findings reveal a critical role of METTL3-mediated m6A in regulating the development of mammalian cerebellum.

Project description:we find METTL3 associates with polyribosomes and promotes translation. METTL3 depletion inhibits translation, and both wild-type and catalytically inactive METTL3 promote translation when tethered to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of a reporter mRNA. Mechanistically, METTL3 enhances mRNA translation through an interaction with the translation initiation machinery. m6A seq in A549 and H1299 cells, RNA seq in METTL3 knockdown cells

Project description:Esophageal cancer is a lethal malignancy with high mortality rate, while the molecular mechanisms underlying esophageal cancer pathogenesis are stillis poorly understood. Here we found that the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase METTL3 is significantly up-regulated in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and associated with poor patient prognosis. Depletion of METTL3 results in decreased ESCC growth and progression in vitro and in vivo. We further established ESCC initiation and progression models using Mettl3 conditional knockout mouse and revealed that Mettl3 mediated m6A modification is essential for promotes ESCC initiation and progression in vivo. Moreover, using METTL3 overexpression ESCC cell model and Mettl3 conditional knockin mouse model, we demonstrated the critical function of Mettl3 in promoting in vivo ESCC tumorigenesis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, Mettl3 catalyzed m6A modification promotes NOTCH1 expression and the activation of Notch signaling pathway. Forced activation of Notch signaling pathway successfully rescues the growth, migration and invasion capacities of METTL3 depleted ESCC cells. Our data uncovered important mechanistical insights underlying ESCC tumorigenesis and provided molecular basis for the development of novel strategies for ESCC diagnosis and treatment.

Project description:Background: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification plays a crucial role in various biological events and is implicated in various metabolic-related diseases. However, its role in MASLD remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the impact of Mettl3 on MASLD through multi-omics analysis, with a focus on exploring its potential mechanisms of action. Methods: MASLD mouse models were established by feeding a high-fat diet for 12 weeks, and Mettl3 stable overexpression AML12 cell models were constructed via lentiviral transfection. Subsequent transcriptomic and proteomic analyses, as well as integrated analysis between different omics datasets, were conducted. Results: Mettl3 expression significantly increased in MASLD mouse models. In the transcriptomic and proteomic analyses, we identified 848 genes with significant inconsistencies between transcriptomic and proteomic datasets. GO/KEGG enrichment terms may involve post-transcriptional modifications, particularly Mettl3-mediated m6A modification. Subsequently, through integrated proteomic analysis of Mettl3-overexpressed AML12 cell models and MASLD mouse models, we selected the top 20 co-upregulated and co-downregulated GO/KEGG terms as the main biological processes influenced by Mettl3 in MASLD. By intersecting with pathways obtained from previous integrated analyses, we identified GO/KEGG terms affected by Mettl3-induced m6A modification. Protein-protein interaction analysis of proteins involved in these pathways highlighted GAPDH, ENO1, and TPI1 as three key hub genes. Conclusion: In MASLD, Mettl3 regulates the glycolytic pathway through m6A modification, influencing the occurrence and development of the disease via the key hub genes GAPDH, ENO1, and TPI1. These findings expand our understanding of MASLD and provide strong evidence for potential therapeutic targets and drug development.

Project description:The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) mRNA modification and the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) hold paramount importance in the advancement of MASLD. This study thoroughly investigates the relationship and impact of m6A mRNA modification and mitochondrial function in the progression of MASLD. Here we report that the mRNA and protein levels of mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) subunits showed inconsistent trends in vivo experiments. Abnormal m6A modification and mitochondrial dysfunction in MASLD were attributed to the upregulation of methyltransferase like 3 (Mettl3) and the downregulation of YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 1 (YTHDF1) induced by high-fat foods. Mettl3 promoted the MRC's function. However, knockout of the reader protein YTHDF1, which plays a crucial role in the m6A modification process, counteracted the effect of Mettl3 and suppressed MRC. In MASLD, damage to the MRC may be regulated by the Mettl3-m6A-YTHDF1 complex axis, especially by the role of YTHDF1. Our research has offered a novel perspective on the involvement of m6A mRNA methylation in the pathogenesis of MASLD.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation of mRNA by the methyltransferase complex (MTC), with core components including METTL3-METTL14 heterodimers and Wilms’ tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP), contributes to breast tumorigenesis, but the mechanism of MTC assembly remains elusive. Here, we identify a novel cleaved form METTL3a (residues 239-580 of METTL3), that is highly expressed in breast cancer. Furthermore, we find that both METTL3a and full-length METTL3 are required for MTC assembly, RNA m6A deposition, as well as cancer cell proliferation. Mechanistically, we find that METTL3a is required for METTL3-METTL3 interaction, which is a prerequisite step for recruitment of WTAP in MTC assembly. Analysis of m6A sequencing data shows that depletion of METTL3a globally disrupts m6A methylation, and METTL3a mediates mTOR activation via m6A-mediated suppression of TMEM127 expression. Consequently, we find that METTL3 cleavage is mediated by proteasome in an mTOR-dependent manner, revealing positive regulatory feedback between METTL3a and mTOR signaling. Our findings reveal METTL3a as an important component for MTC assembly, and suggest the METTL3a-mTOR axis as a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most prevalent internal messenger RNA modification, plays critical roles in diverse biological processes. To characterize the potential involvement of METTL3 in macrophage function, we mapped m6A methylomes of METTL3-deficent and WT macrophages by m6A sequencing (m6A-seq) and RNA-seq, with independent biological replicates. Notably, among the m6A peaks with remarkable changes upon METTL3-depletion, the vast majority exhibited a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in m6A abundance.The most common m6A motif GGAC is significantly enriched in the m6A peaks in both WT and METTL3-deficent cells. A similar pattern of total and common m6A distribution in control and METTL3-deficient cells was observed, when the m6A peaks were especially abundant in the vicinity of CDS and 3’UTR regions.

Project description:Genomic and transcriptomic alterations are insufficient to explain the variance in protein expression seen in cancer. Recent evidence has highlighted the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) in the regulation of mRNA expression, stability and translation, supporting a potential role for post-transcriptional regulation mediated by m6A in cancer. Here we explore prostate cancer as an exemplar cancer and generate the first prostate m6A maps, and further examined how low levels of N6-adenosine-methyltransferase (METTL3) associates with advanced prostate cancer and results in altered expression at the level of transcription, translation, and protein. In particular extracellular matrix proteins have a high number of m6A sites and show significant changes in expression with METTL3 knock-down. We also discovered the upregulation of a hepatocyte nuclear factor-driven gene signature that is associated with therapy resistance in prostate cancer. Significantly, METTL3 knock-down rendered the cells resistant to androgen receptor antagonists, implicating changes in m6A as a mechanism for therapy resistance in metastatic prostate cancer.
